New capacity boosts Semen Tonasa sales

PT Semen Tonasa reported a 137 per cent YoY rise in first-half sales to 2.78Mt compared to the same period of last year.

Sales of the company, which is part of the Semen Indonesia group, have increased in line with growing production output which has risen following the operation of Tonasa’s 2.5Mta Kiln Line 5.

However, Tonasa’s President Director, Andi Unggul Attas, said sales in eastern Indonesia only grew by 8.3 per cent in the first six months of this year compared to 23.4 per cent in the same period of last year.
